Any uncertainty in the calculation of the object’s orbit causes variations in the predicted solution. Instead of one precise ...

The impact probability describes how likely a hazardous asteroid is to hit Earth. For example, if the impact probability is 1%, it means that in 1 of 100 cases, it hits Earth.

NASA/JPL But while the probability of hitting Earth went down, the probability of the asteroid hitting the Moon started increasing. It went up to 1.7% on Feb. 24. As of April 2, it is 3.8%.

However, their findings suggest that screening for infected people alone cannot reduce the probability of cluster occurrence to 0% if it is not possible to completely isolate all detected persons.
